Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two air raid shelter is visible as an earthwork, probably an earth and vegetation-covered structure, on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 5252 0966. It lay in the garden of 9 Hawkins Avenue. This, together with its small size, suggests that it was a private shelter intended for the use of this particular household. It may have been an Anderson shelter or a similar proprietary design. An entrance is visible at its north end, protected by a narrow bank, blast wall, or similar structure. Recent aerial photographs of the site, e.g. (S2), demonstrate that the earthwork has now been levelled.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 10 April 2006.
